Your role in the story
As Electrcian, keep the vessel’s installations in optimal condition by detecting, repairing, and reporting functional defects in electrical equipment and automation systems. You are a real trouble‑shooter who can also guide and assist the machine room staff with maintenance tasks in the engine room and on deck. You conduct condition-based monitoring to prevent equipment breakdowns and carry out functional tests on safety and emergency stop systems. Furthermore, you prepare job safety analyses and contribute to toolbox meetings.

- Detecting, reporting, and solving electrical malfunctions in systems, circuits, and equipment.
- Guiding subcontractors with troubleshooting and carrying out repairs.
- Performing low-voltage switching, electrical isolation, and overrides.
- Assisting during construction work by operating electrical systems and providing facilities.
- Providing input on the performance of electrical engineering staff such as new hires and trainees.
- Conducting Job Safety Analyses and Toolbox Talks.
Key ingredients for success
- A minimum Vocational or Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a diploma from a Maritime College.
- At least 2 years of (offshore) experience with electro‑technical (ship) installations.
- Experience with DP vessels (preferably holding a Kongsberg certificate) is a plus.
- Knowledge of MS Office, ERP systems, and preferably CAD tools.
- Result‑oriented mindset and excellent teamwork skills.
- Excellent communication skills in English (Dutch is a plus).
- A seagoing Certificate of Competency (CoC) is not required for this role.
Your future colleagues
The electrical installations on board our crane vessels appeal to the imagination, from generators that deliver a combined 96,000 kW (enough to power a city!) to the complexity of our Dynamic Positioning systems that use GPS and multiple 5500 kW thrusters rotating 360 degrees.
On our SSCV’s, the electrical systems keep the entire vessel running safely and efficiently. the Electrical Department has a clear structure to ensure smooth offshore operations and seamless technical support across all systems:
Assistant Electricians (2x), Electricians 3 (3x), Electricians 2 (2x), Electricians 1 (2x), Marine Automation Engineer (1x), Chief Electrician (1x)
All positions, except for the Chief Electrician and Marine Automation Engineer, are divided per shift to guarantee continuous 24/7 operations.
In addition to the electrical crew, you’ll work closely with our Engine Room Team, which consists of Oilers (5x), Mechanics 2 (2x), Mechanics 1 (2x), Assistant Engineers (2x), Engineers 2 (3x), Engineers 1 (3x), Assistant Chief Engineer (1x), Chief Engineer (1x), and with the Stores Department, including Chief Storekeeper (1x), Storekeeper 1 (1x), Storekeeper 2 (2x). Since several activities overlap with the engine room department, close collaboration between both teams is essential.
